Just curious... is anyone on this thread watching the new TV series "Over There" on FX about our soldiers in Iraq?

I assume Taro isn't watching because it isn't clever and amusing, and Elroy isn't watching because it isn't at all funny (like Ted's posts). But I wonder if anyone else is watching to get a feel for something close to the reality of the war.

So far it's pretty damn good. Depressing as hell, but probably pretty close to reality. I know the "cute" reality shows are doing well, but somehow I think this real reality show may flop.

America, and Taro and Elroy, will not be amused or entertained. And that's certainly what life is about in America in 2005; it's all about being entertained.

What good is sitting alone
In your room ?
Come hear the music play
Life is a Cabaret, old chum
Come to the Cabaret

Come taste the wine
Come hear the band
Come blow a horn
Start celebrating
Right this way,
Your table's waiting

No use permitting
Some prophet of doom
To wipe every smile away.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret !
